What are my chances for getting into LECOM Bradenton?

I recently applied this last February for the Fall 2026 cycle for LECOM Bradenton. I know it is late in the cycle, but they were still taking applications. I got my interview invite 4 days after submitting my secondary, but have not heard back for decision. It has only been 2 weeks since my interview, but I am registered to take my MCAT in the coming months and want to know my chances.

I graduated in 2 years at USF with Honors. 41 transfer credits with a High School Summer Semester at Harvard (my junior year). Including Harvard, total GPA is 3.73, my institutional (full undergrad at USF) is a 3.8, and my science GPA is 3.60. My AIS score is a 129. In the 2 years, I have 100 clinical volunteering hours at the VA, 100 non-clinical but hospital volunteer position, 140 shadowing hours with 4 specialties, 160 (to be 220) research hours, 60 community volunteer/outreach hours (VFW, animals, community chamber of commerce), and work experience with tutoring children and being a camp counselor.

I am on the younger side, but am very mentally mature and showed that in my interview and personal statement. I have focused on military medicine, as I am a military child. I know LECOM Bradenton partners with Bay Pines VA Hospital, so I am not sure if that would help.

I did signify that I would attend LECOM if I got in. What are my chances?
